Power Over Information®

Index Engines’ patented software platform delivers governance over user-created data by providing actionable intelligence of files and emails across all tiers of storage including legacy backup tapes. Leveraging powerful, enterprise-class indexing, classification and management capabilities; organizations are empowered to regulate data center costs and resources as well as help control and secure sensitive data according to corporate policies in order to manage risk.

“There’s no longer a reason to restore bulk data from tape and then have to spend time processing through it conventionally. Index Engines’ approach is far more efficient and defensible.”

To make the process more user-friendly for eDiscovery service providers and law firms within Europe, Critical Data Services combines the convenience and simplicity of the web with the efficiency of their secure lab.

Backup tapes are securely transported to Critical Data Services’ processing facility where a comprehensive, searchable index of all the files and emails contained on the tape is created. Customers can access that index over a secure internet connection to search their contents and identify relevant ESI.

Finally, any identified relevant data is extracted from tape for delivery to the customer and/or collected into a forensically sound archive for continued long term preservation and access.

Allowing customers to identify ESI prior to extraction is what makes this process so much more efficient and cost effective that traditional tape processing.

“Critical Data Services has a well-established reputation of providing outstanding service throughout Ireland and the rest of Europe,” Index Engines Vice President David Ballard said. “They’ve seen first-hand how slow and ineffective full tape restoration can be and are dedicated to bringing their clients the quickest, most defensible solutions in the eDiscovery market today.”
